I never really understood the whole side x side thing. I always thought a quad is the best way to go riding. I rode my buddies Arctic Cat Wild Cat yesterday and I'm sold on them now. I'm definitely keeping my eyes open for one.

The only problem is the damn things cost as much as a new F150

You can find a decent used one each from 5k to 7500 around here. I can't think of the brand but they have one with a manual gear box with clutch and all. Looked like a blast.

I've been on CL looking at 800 and 900 RZRs and it looks like you can get a 12 or 13 for under $8,000.

I have to do a little more research on the different brands. I don't really know anything about them, I've always kept up with the quads.

Ethanol has always given outboards fits....best to stay away from it.

Hit 62k today on the truck. Just did some figuring and with the miles I've put on the cavalier it's saved 48,000 miles on the truck since 2014 when I bought the car. Much rather have 62k instead of 110k on a 2013. I think it was worth the $1500 investment

I got a updated tune from MPT and they tweaked the tow haul function for early shifts for fuel mileage. It'll cruise in 6th gear at 35 to 36 mph and will stay in 6th while accelerating instead of dropping down a gear.

If you're looking at used, the Razr's are king. Brand new, the new Yamaha (ugly but fly's and rides amazing) and the new Arctic Cat are pretty awesome.

I am totally sold on one after using my buddies Raxr 900. When he moves up to the 1000, I'll likely buy his.

They also have the turbo rzr

The guy that has the new show on discovery with the diesel trucks showed a razr turbo 4 seater with 33 inch truck tires and it was sitting there spinning donuts on the pavement effortlessly

A buddy runs a small Polaris Dealer in my home town. I get to demo the production turbo Razr when I'm back home in August. Looking forward to seeing what it does. The 900 is pretty impressive in it's self. I actually prefer it to the 1000, as the 1000 is much bigger and tougher to maneuver on tight trials. It is however much more stable at high speeds on the gravel roads.

Are the current Polaris ATV's made in Mexico or Minnesota? Big stink about them moving production a few years ago.




27" Mudlite XTR's

My XP-850 that just made 7 yrs old...no major problems with this machine.

It is a pretty big Johnson! I take it out as often as possible. I think it's beginning to make the neighbors uncomfortable!!

Please watch

No more big old Johnson's...only Evinrudes! For years these were the most popular engines in Louisiana...Mercury 3rd. Johnson and Evinrude were basically the same engine except for the exterior paint and trim.
